I’m having visions of ice princesses and sugar-plum fairies! With holiday parties in full swing, it’s high time to rock something a little more dramatic and glamorous than usual. So far this season I’ve done the statement lip to death (literally: I showed up to a soiree this weekend with Barbie Pink lips, and one last week donning black gloss), but I’m really eager to break out the glitter! So, I consulted COVERGIRL celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern for her tips on how to properly apply glitter.

"To create the perfect holiday glam look, I recommend choosing one feature to highlight for the night. For example, I love creating a smoldering smoky eye for the holidays with just a touch of glitter. COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast makes it really easy to achieve this bold look and comes in a variety of shades that you can play with. Try adding a thin layer of glitter to your lid on top of Smoky ShadowBlast for a dramatic holiday look that will make your eyes really standout. To complete the look, apply a few coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Length Mascara for long, notice-me lashes."

"When it comes to using glitter for the holidays, you want to have fun with it but remember less is truly more. Apply a light layer of glitter to your eyelids, or cheeks, but not both, for a festive look that’s sure to be a hit at your next holiday party."
